Hi Network Guys ...
I'm working on a project for networking approx 2500 Raspberry PI devices in a theater. They need to be networked, and because of space reasons in the conduit, doing a home run arrangement isn't really feasible. Some rows have 25 seats in them and making a home run would make that cable pretty fat.
What would be the recommendation? Does 10Base-2 even make sense anymore, and especially on a raspberry PI? Maybe some sort of serial bus protocol that you can run SLIP on?
Ideally, if we only have say 2-3 wires, I was thinking of some sort of serial line bus arrangement with each PI having an address in the row. The throughput requirements are very low and could likely be handled by, say, a 19.2K modem
What would some recommendations? Thanks in advance!
